Hi all,I've set up my swap file with CFDISK to be 250meg, Type 82.In the fstab I have /dev/hda2 none swap 0 0, but the swap file still isn't working. I've checked this with TOP and with the swap file monitor in the slit.

Hi John, thanks for your quick and helpful response.I'm not using compact flash, but dedicated partition on my hard drive. Rather than using dd, I triedmkswap -c /dev/hda2swapon /dev/hda2swapon -sThat appears to have worked as well. Maybe I was working under the misconception that after I created a swap file with cfdisk, that DSL would automatically format it and use it after after hd-install.
